At the annual Fallas festival, taking place from March 15 to 19, a statue will be presented with an unexpected twist.
The creator of the piece, artist Víctor Navarro, decided to pay homage to the Ballon d'Or by naming the sculpture "Cagallo D'Or" – "Golden Poop." The main feature of the artwork is the gilded feces resting on the player's hand.
Navarro explained that the piece symbolizes the "crocodile tears" of the footballer and the reaction of Real Madrid fans who support him in controversial situations.
In line with festival tradition, most figures are burned at the end of the festivities, symbolizing the arrival of spring. However, the best statue as chosen by the audience may be kept.
To remind you, this season the 24-year-old Brazilian has scored 8 goals and provided 5 assists in 15 La Liga matches.
